Unfortunately I have to put the shop on semi-hiatus.
My laptop is dead, so I will not have a computer in my dorm room.
This will halt my productivity for a bit, until I have access to the computer labs.

If you don't want to deal with this, please don't order.

]|[ Hello! Welcome to my humble shop, From Heaven. I'm c a e l i t a - no spaces needed...
You can even just refer to me as 'Cae', 'Lita', 'CaeCae' lol, whatever, I don't mind. ]|[

FYI: "caelita" is latin for "from heaven" - go figure huh?

]|[ I try to be as friendly as possible. So feel free to ask any questions in the thread or PM the "From Heaven" mule.
But if you are ordering POST, don't PM. ]|[

I wouldn't want my box to be filled and not get your order :[.

]|[ Please, please, please Read the RULES.
Now, just click on the navigation links in each section and take a look around!
Hope to draw for you soon. : ] ]|[

]|[ Please be courteous. I will not draw for rude, obnoxious, etc people - no matter the price.]|[

]|[Please use proper grammar, spelling, no 'leet/733t' speak. I'm a stickler for all of these..
Keep talk to a PG-13 level as well. ]|[

]|[ No spamming or advertising or page stretching - if it's a long quote trim it down!
I don't want to fish through all of these to find my orders. ]|[

]|[ Feel free to bump and chat, I'll probably hang around the thread a lot. I love to meet new people :]. ]|[

]|[ Place orders IN the thread. I will PM you once I've accepted. ]|[

]|[ I reserve the right to show completed artwork done for a customer - with the watermark, to prevent stealing.
I also reserve the right to refuse service - as stated in the first rule. ]|[

]|[ I WILL place my name "(c) caelita" in the final product, so people who see it will know where it came from.
Self promotion at it's finest. Consider it my 'signature'. ]|[

]|[ Understand that artwork takes time. I AM a perfectionist. As my art reflects me I tend to do 120%.
If it takes me more than 2 months to finish.. feel free to PM me @ From Heaven like crazy and kick me in the arse.
But understand that my classes are first priority. ]|[

]|[ Do not claim to have drawn the art you buy. If you're that desperate for attention, seek a therapist. ]|[

]|[ SAVE your image to your computer/harddrive/flashdrive/photobucket. Somewhere.
I will delete art online after a few weeks to prevent hotlinking. don't abuse my bandwidth please. ]|[

]|[ I will only accept friend requests on the From Heaven Avi Art mule, not caelita.
Please only PM the mule From Heaven with questions about this thread, so I can keep everything organized. ]|[

Lots of rules, I know... please follow them and Gaia TOS. These rules may be changed or edited, check up on it.

Hope you read them all.. or beware my wrath and a reporting!! Don't make me send you to hell. Heh.

I use references to draw. I'm usually hopeless without it.
I'll take care of finding the right references, just give me a description.

I also need a kick in the arse once in a while to get off my lazy hindquarters and get drawing.

I don't draw guys well. Well, I could.. but I don't do it often. If the drawing isn't satisfactorilly MALE
enough for you, I'll give you half a refund lol... only half because I warned you in advance.

As this is a new venture for me... I'm not certain of all I offer.

Ask and you may just receive it.

]|[ I can draw your avi- head shot, full body, half body, headless, you name it.

]|[ I can draw your avi and make it into a signature sign

[ and have it the appropriate size [500x500] so you don't get in trouble! I'm lookin' out for you already ;] ]

]|[ I can draw your avi and make it into a bump sign!

]|[ I can draw you a pretty picture?

I'm a Jack of all Trades, man. Just ask.

]|[ (may seem high >_>, if you can't afford it be on the lookout in my CB thread I'll give freebies every so often :3) ]|[

]|[ Prices reflect time spent on a drawing. I spend at LEAST 3 hours on a single drawing.

Approve once --> *artist at work* --> Cae will PM completed art w/ watermark for approval -->

Correct art/Change art/Scrap art crying --> Finish Trade --> Art sent by PM sans watermark

Completed!

1 ]|[ Go over again how I order from you, I'm confused!

Copy past the code for the Order application. Fill it out to the best of your ability.
I will PM you once I've read it over and approved/adjusted the price. I may ask questions to iron out the kinks of what you want exactly.

Once everything's settled I will place you in a Working on slot if it's open. Otherwise you'll be placed at the end of the Waiting List.
If you are placed in the waiting list, I will PM you once you've moved up to the working on spots!
If your art is being worked on, I expect you to send a trade before I fully start. I will aprove it ONCE, then start drawing - leaving the trade still in the works.

*Cae furiously at work.. with multiple breaks and naps...*

Once I'm satisfied with the piece, I'll PM it to you WITH a watermark upon it. This Watermarked image will be later be used in my samples. IF you see anything you want changed - misspellings, you're a leftie and holding something in your right!, your eye color is wrong, etc etc- I will change it to the best of my ability. Once you approve of the watermarked art I will approve the trade a second time.

You approve the trade and I will PM you the final NON-WATERMARKED image, all yours to keep!

You SHOULD save it to your harddrive/computer/flashdrive/photobucket/imageshack/whatever. It will be deleted off of my account within a few weeks to keep bandwidth down.

Then it's all Nice doin' business with you!

2 ]|[ When do you start working on my art??

Once you've sent the trade, so I know you mean business!

3 ]|[ How do I make sure you draw the avatar look I want?

Tek tek how you want your avatar drawn and put the image's url/web address in the application!

4 ]|[ Will you accept anything besides gold as payment?

I would love tickets! It's in the pricing itself as you can see... if you read. I may accept items if the price value is the same as what you would pay in gold - or close to it.

User Image

5 ]|[ My picture disappeared!? Where did it go?

You should have read the rules. You need to save the images to your computer or other means. If you want it online, you must upload it to Photobucket or Image Shack or something else. If you don't know how to do this, ask.

I delete the images so my bandwidth isn't abused.

6 ]|[ Can I do an art trade with you?

At the moment.. I'm not sure. If I have the time perhaps, asking is the only way to find out biggrin .

7 ]|[ How many artworks can I order?

I doubt people will want more than one.. but if you do, please don't order at the same time. Let others have a chance... if there's a line -.-.

8 ]|[ You look like a nice gaian! I'd like to donate to you!

Feel free! I have no qualms about taking donations :3.

9 ]|[ What are you willing to draw?

As long as it isn't pornographic, too cluttered an avatar, or too mecha I'll [attempt to] draw it. If I may not be able to, I'll let you know.

I'll do OC's if you have reference pictures, otherwise it may not be the same vision in your head o.o.

I'll draw animals, couples (at a lot higher cost ...), pretty much anything else. Ask and I'll answer biggrin .

10 ]|[ What do I get when I order Avi Art AND the Sig sign / Avi art AND the Bump sign?

When you order this, I draw your avi, then take the completed drawing, resize it and put what you want on it [for your sig or bump sign]. So you get the original Avi art headshot [a larger size than what should go in your Signature] AND a separate bump/sig sign. So for this you get TWO images.

I start out every drawing at 400 dpi... dots per inch. This is high quality - most images you get online are only 72 dpi.
